Inspired and exited

Hello invisible people (I really hope someone is reading this)

Today I am feeling very inspired and exited about my future as I mentioned in my last post I will be moving somewhat to the country, well a hell of a lot more than Seattle is anyways. My boyfriends house is a typical X-bachelors pad in which is in grave need of a woman's touch this is where I  come in, I love to decorate and have always wanted to try my hand at some gardening and I will have a fairly decent sized yard to do this in. I think my first project will be a small meditation garden in the back corner, I've always wanted one! For a very long time I've wanted a home of my own to be very domesticated in, all my life since I left  my chilhood home I have lived  mostly in apartments, very small ones I may add. Some of the best things about living here (besides my awesome boyfriend) will be the lovely quiet of his neighborhood and having a real working one room jewelry studio/painting for him. I can't wait to get it all organized and such, it's definaly going to be a serious project! 

So Yes a lot of wonderfulness is on the horizion!

Cheers, Patty

Changes

Big changes are on my horizon, I must admit some I don't like and the others are much needed. I will be moving in with my wonderful boyfriend Tim soon and his little Italian greyhound Mercury, my cat Armani is coming along too it should be very interesting to see how these two will get along!
I will be working a lot less as a housekeeper and more as a metal smith, getting a concrete collection together, I feel I am still looking for my niche as a designer. I also have so much to learn about promoting and marketing myself, I tend to be shy and have a difficult time chatting up strangers but once I do I am just fine.

So yes I will be going through a little mini transformation I'm a little scared of this leap but I know it is very much needed.
Cheers Patty

First time

Hello my name is Patty and this is my very first blog post and I must admit I feel a bit weird talking/writing this not knowing if anyone will even read it. I guess I will begin with what I did this weekend, I attended the Seattle Tattoo expo,  my boyfriend owns Tsunami Tattoo in Tacoma,www.Tsutattoo.com
So I decided to debut my own jewelry creations as well. Unfortunately I had no sales, considering it was a tattoo expo evryone just wanted that. I am glad I got a little exposure though, its the first time I've shown my work to the public in that way besides my etsy shop.
I have to admit I was a bit sad about not selling even one piece, I guess the issue of rejection goes with the territory and WOW do I have a lot to learn about all this. I have been making jewelry since I learned in college and have been wanting to get more serious about selling it rather than it just being a hobby yet it's all very intimidating, especially seeing so many amazing blogs on here, guess it all just takes some time. In a nut shell I am at least proud of myself for taking this leap.

Cheers, Patty
